Rotating Lanes
During a competition or league play, bowlers may rotate lanes. Lane
rotation must be done through Front Desk so that bowlers’ names are
rotated to the new lane when the current game is completed and a “new
game” is initiated.
Note: Only names are moved from scorer to scorer in a rotate, unlike the
transfer process, which actually moves all information, including number of
games, game type, etc.
Additionally, all lanes in the range must be on in order for the rotate to work.
For example, if lanes 1 through 4 are on and lanes 7 through 10 are on, and if
you then try to rotate lanes 1 through 10 by 2 lanes, it will not work. The
system will try to send names to lanes 5 and 6, which are off.
You can initiate a rotation once a session has begun. Nothing will happen
immediately at the lanes, but the names will rotate when the new game is
initiated at the scorer. Take the following scenario for example: turn on
lanes 1 through 10 in a tournament. The names are entered at the scorer,
and they start bowling the first game. Sometime during the first game, you
initiate a rotate from lanes 1 through 10 by 4 lanes. Nothing will happen to
the lanes while they are bowling their game. But when the game is
complete, and each lane presses “New Game,” the names will move to the
appropriate lane. If the lane that the bowlers are supposed to move to is
still in use (another game), the scorer will hold the names in “limbo” until
that group of bowlers presses “New Game.”
To rotate lanes:
The Rotate key only appears on the
customized keyboard—not on the screen.
Basic keyboard users must use the
CRTL+R combination to access this
f
unction.
1. Press the Rotate key or CRTL+R on your keyboard. The Rotate
dialog box appears at the bottom right of the Main screen.
2. In the Rotate this range from box, type the lane number the
bowler is rotating from. If the bowler is rotating from a range of
lanes, type the first lane number in the range, press the Tab key on
the keyboard, then type the last lane number in the range in the To
box.
3. In the by this number of lanes box, type the number of lanes by
which the lanes should rotate. For example, if you want lanes 1
through 10 to rotate by 3 lanes, you would type 3 in the box.
4. Press the Enter key on your keyboard. The Confirm Lane Rotate
dialog box appears.
